Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.

Grind oats in a blender or food processor. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in flour, baking soda and salt. Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add oil, granulated sugar, brown sugar, egg and vanilla; beat until smooth and creamy. With the mixer running, add the dry ingredients, beating on low speed until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls, at least 1 inch apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies, 1 sheet at a time, until firm around the edges and golden on top, about 15 minutes. Cool the cookies for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

Make Ahead Tip: The cookies will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Storage smarts: To extend the life of your baked goods, store them in an airtight container in a single layer or between layers of parchment paper to prevent sticking.

These are my new go to chocolate chip cookies. Followed the recipe with a slight twist. I used the mini chocolate chips and added some coconut. Love these cookies they have a lighter texture than traditional cookies and a yummy chocolate flavor. Will make these again.

These are my go-to chocolate chip cookies. Better than Tollhouse! (The back-of-the-chip-bag recipe I grew up eating).

Perfection! I am not a bake-from-scratch girl, but was craving homemade chocolate chip cookies with better than typical ingredients & nutrition. I followed the recipe to the letter! Will indeed make again. Next time subbing almond meal for oatmeal as another reviewer enjoyed!

My husband kept coming back for more; I substituted with vegan egg replacement powder, olive oil instead of canola, smart balance instead of dairy butter, brown sugar instead of granulated with maybe a tablespoon extra of the brown sugar and an extra tablespoon of vanilla extract. I also used about half a cup or less of 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate chips to make this healthier

Love them! But be careful with substitutions
I have made these countless times over the years, and they are one our favorites. I love the oats and whole wheat (I use white whole wheat), and I always sub out 1/4 cup ww flour for 2 tablespoons flaxseed and 2 almond flour. Most whole wheat cookies just aren't as good as those made with regular white flour.
Having said that, I decided to try some of the suggestions made by others to make them more healthy. I started small: substituted 2 tablespoons of butter for 2 Greek yogurt. What a mistake! I could believe how much this changed the cookie! Dry, more cakey. Ok if you're ok with a healthy texture cookie (which I can live with), but definitely not a treat or something a kid would eat, which is why I make them. There is a tipping point here: I try to make healthier treats for my family, but they have to eat it first. Back to full amount of butter.
Pros: Easy and always turns out yummy

Wonderful recipe, with one exception: Why not add heart-healthy walnuts? Chocolate chip cookies taste better with walnuts, and they are so good for you. Those with nut allergies would, of course, leave them out.
